Introducing the Parnassus Young Adult First Editions Club!
Author Ann Patchett's Neighborhood Bookstore Revival
Parnassus Books is an independent bookstore located in Nashville, TN. It was started by best-selling author Ann Patchett and publishing veteran Karen Hayes.
In Greek mythology, Mount Parnassus was the home of literature, learning, and music. We will be Nashville's Parnassus by providing a refuge for Nashvillians of all ages who share in the love of the written word. We will partner with and support local writers and artists, businesses and institutions. We will strive to bring readers the best books in literature, non-fiction, children's books, local interest and the arts in both printed and digital formats. We will provide venues for writers to connect with readers, and readers to connect with books. By doing this we hope to complement and add to the rich cultural character of the Athens of the South.
